Dear Partner in Education:

Thank you for your continued commitment to your students and the field of education. Because of teachers and administrators who share your dedication, generations of young students from across the United States will know what it is like to experience science firsthand.

The experience of visiting Florida helps young students develop an appreciation for science and how far we have come in technology and protecting our environment. For some students, this may result in a career involving science, or perhaps teaching. But for all, this experience will undoubtedly result in a greater understanding of our environment, technology, and a deeper impression in their minds that with knowledge, anything is possible.

Floridians share your commitment to students and experiential learning. Our goal is to have a positive impact on every student who visits our great state. By traveling to Florida on a WorldStrides program with your students, you exemplify a model of excellence for educators across the nation. Thank you for your commitment, and we look forward to helping you enrich the lives of your future students.

Sincerely,

Jeb Bush
